New Music Flavor – Tom Rosenthal “Jim and Dwight”

What better time to binge watch The Office than during a world wide pandemic months before it’s being removed from Netflix? Luckily, Tom Rosenthal agrees with me and wrote this floaty lil’ tune after watching the entire series at the start of the pandemic.

Starting off in a political fashion, the song soon tackles the love-hate relationship between Jim and Dwight and its comparison to everyday relationships.

“You took pleasure in each other’s misery // those pranks were a cover for a synergy”

THE OFFICE IS THE BEST SHOW ON THE PLANET, FIGHT ME ABOUT IT!

Less Than 1,000 Followers Week 16

This are my TOP10 tracks added yesterday and today from bands #LessThan1000Followers but take a step back first to my Playlist 100 Underground Tracks 2019 please.

Last year I work out a Playlist called 100 Underground Tracks 2019 and at the TOP 10 was from 1 to 10 Cagework  (just released two new songs at the end of last month), Charmides and Ugly Mothers (both debut singles, so far the only tracks for them), Kills Birds and Black Leather Jacket (both an absolutely awesome debut albums) Lake Acacia (with new track released back in January) Right Hand Left Hand (Zone Ruoge album), NOISY (two new singles this year), Shade (with the debut EP from November) and Shadows Of A Silhoutte (new track Worthless released this year) all this bands were also part of Playlist Less Than 1,000 Followers.

Here the whole Playlist

Why I’m talking about this? It’s easy

1 The first reason is because today Saturday April 18 Shade also shared their new single Neverdie in their own words “We’he been working on it for about 4 years now since we were kids n it’s our most we’ll know song yet, it’s never released “ until today.

undefined

And they keep going “the song is about rock and roll music and how it’ll Never die, it’s got a lot of quotes to other we’ll know rock songs there and we give the name sally the meaning of rock and roll music as may bands have used the name in their songs so we give it a meaning”

Here the link for the song a truly catchy  with a warm melancholic that you’re going to listen over and over and over again until you be satisfied. I’m not sure if it’s only me but this track makes me think in Oasis….What about you?

And also the debut EP from last year

2 And the second reason is that yesterday was released the new single by Pint + Blister Dysthymia and they were at 11 in the 100 Underground Tracks 2019 and it feels really good to see this bands growing and moving forward even in this adverse times. The track is all I can expected!!!

3 Backseat Vinyl Bad Trip another band part of the 100 Underground Tracks 2019, also yesterday delivered this track sound fantastic and I’m happy for them, they are now almost 900 followers so their days in this Playlist are almost over, congratulations guys!!!

4 Bugs TNick Gowland also yesterday a Brand new band born,, well not really true but cerntantly release their debut single that it’s promising to say the least with a beautiful female voice that as a mermaid enchant our ears. (They’re curruntly working in the video for this track so no Youtube link yet)

5 The Swell Fellas Placebo this is the new track by our stoner rock friends also full of psychedelia  a monster track over 8 minutes mark a thing to sit and enjoy (headphones preferred)

6 VERO Heaven on Earth more female vocals for our enjoyment know with this girl trio from Stockholm and this title track from their upcoming EP with 3 more new track droping April 22 great indie pop / alt pop.

7 Tyrants TMouthful Another band that had been added to the Playlist Debut Bands (Of The Radar) back in February 21 released their debut single and yesterday their second track they’re from the Black Country with a cool riffs something  between punk and alternative rock that it’s addictive as hell.

8  Bullet Girl Heatred Irish post punk band emerging stronger after been out there for a while now founding their own identity and sound.  

9 The Arthurs Void from Rotterdam Amsterdam this alternative/indie rock band is coming back for their somophore album Leave This Town with this their third single second this year and is hard to resist to this riffs and that vocals in the background creating such an dreamlike atmosphere.

10 FLTY BRGR GRL Slowdance talking about dreaming stuff this couple of girls from Olso Norway that I’ve follow since last year that deliver their debut single with Be My Boy in November 08 and yesterday was the turn of this new track released with this video and as they said “a song about a crush” enjoy it!!!

This is the Spotify Playlist where you can find a more than 1,000 bands as good as this 10.

New Music Flavor – Pokey LaFarge “Rock Bottom Rhapsody”

Digging into my Sonoma County roots this week with Pokey LaFarge’s new album Rock Bottom Rhapsody. This well-dressed fella is just as rockabilly and western swing in fashion as he is in song – it’s hard to say whether his sharply dressed outfits or sing-song blues will make you swoon first. As said by St. Louis Magazine, he’s “almost as famous for his personal style as he is for his music”.

Rock Bottom Rhapsody has me dreaming of laid back summer BBQ’s and casual weekend picnics – social activities that will no longer be taken for granted when they return. “Bluebird”, front runner off the album,  is perfect for a little indoor jig in the rain today, or for an easy Sunday morning while making breakfast. The song is only improved by its video, which portrays LaFarge as Los Angelese Detective Frank Lux in “The Hunt For Blue Bird”.

I became of fan of LaFarge with his 2015 “Something In The Water”, and quickly fell in love with his sound when I saw him perform live at LaguMiniAmphitheaterette at Petaluma’s own Lagunitas Brewing Company. A small, but special venue that has hosted Charles Bradley, The Growlers, Man Man, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, King Tuff, Thundercat, and a never-ending list of impressive acts.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention his Jack White project from 2012’s Blunderbuss, “I Guess I Should Go To Sleep”. This track is the only one on the record in which White plays the drums. Of the experience of working with White, LaFarge said “There’s so much clarity in Jack’s music. When he sings, the voice and the music are true. I started working with him back in 2011, just before the recording of Blunderbuss. He basically wrote and arranged I Guess I Should Go To Sleep before our eyes, right there in the studio. We did maybe two or three takes at the most“.

Though seemingly a songbird from another generation, LaFarge is no stranger to social media and the live stream game during these quarantine times. His next Instagram Live performance will be 6pm PST tonight.

New Music Flavor – Kllo “Still Here”

We’re all quarantined going slightly quaran-sane, but Kllo is here to remind you that they are “Still Here” despite the chaos. While some of us are really enjoying the time and space and other silver linings this quarantine has to offer, there are just as many people who are not doing okay. Though this track has some upbeat moments, it stays true to Kllo’s healing and calming energy – perfect for someone needing a breath of fresh air to help align their peace of mind during this pandemic. This song matches the uncertainty that we’ve become accustomed to living with while providing a comforting ease that we’re still here, life is moving on and we’re all healing and adapting at our own speeds. Dare I say this song leaves me with a sad euphoria? Or is that the quaran-sanity kicking in?

Is it concerning // It’s all uncertain // See I am hopeless // I am still here

Their debut album was Backwater in 2017, with a few singles along the way – so it’s nice to hear they’re still kickin’ it. Before announcing to the world that they are “Still Here”, Kllo let us know that they came back to us last October with “Back To You”. A mellow daytime track expressing the journey of an overthinking lover. Still relevant as we sit here with nothing but time on our hands, nothing but time to overthink relationships and encounters and drive ourselves crazy with all this free time.

I discovered Kllo the first week I moved to Los Angeles, and they’ve always floated in the back of my mind and graced a few of my playlists. Something that really struck me about Kllo is their natural ability to keep you mellow and grounded while still sparking calm creativity. There’s something fresh in this latest track that leaves me with anticipation for their upcoming project. The Melbourne duo, made up of cousins Chloe Kaul and Simon Lam, plan to release their sophomore album Maybe We Could on July 17th.

Until then, stay mellow, stay safe, and keep supporting your favorite artists!

Fresh Singles February 2020

Hi… me once again, I know I’m back (too soon), we all know that Fridays are an exciting day, and in this case I’m talking about music, is the best the of the week about New Music.

I have this Playlsit that I work and update daily named Fresh Singles (right now over 460 tracks almost 30 hours non stop music) but I also work a another in parallel exactly the same…Why? I lost my mind? I have nothing else to do? Pick your favorite. This work ethic helps me to have all the hard work that is cuarte this big Playlist save.

This is because each month I delete all the tracks in the Playlist and start all over again from cero (almost), for example next Monday I’m going to take down more than 350 tracks (from day 1 to last week more or less) and only keep the newest 100 tracks added to the Playlist for one more week, Why? For two obvious reasons, the first to give a fair chance to this new tracks to stay at least one week on it, and the second is that no one enjoy a Playlist with 4 or 6 tracks (or the number that I can find next Monday).

Once I have explain my self about the way this works lets move into the sweet new music this next Playlist is the Fresh Singles February 2020 is a secret one, so is hide in my Profile you only can find it here and at Spotify Community searching this name. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/71N7YfgIjQlqYlZHQ2YOaa?si=e4_tM24LQaizG0qv9l4Xhw

And this one is the orginal Fresh Singles that in monday is going to change https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0wwo4Wdmoj0ywUjyBVVERv?si=1ScZmhWNRA6SMLBrcbjh3g

Creeper the Southampton punk rock or punk goth band released their lead single last month (Annabelle) and today the second Cyanide part of the upcoming album Sex, Death & the Infinite Void out next May 22. https://youtu.be/v_2C_9jLmNc

Finally INU INU love this guys they’re a Netherlands / UK dream pop with the lovely voice of Amber (also play bass) and today deliver their second single Cubed of their secret but upcoming EP (no name yet or release date) but will be out around May, so keep an eye (better an ear) in this guys you can find them also in Playlist Less Than 1000 Followers. This video is their first single Tobiou they haven’t load the new one. https://youtu.be/gsyTTBnqkik
